You want qalculate-gtk. It shows up as Qalculate! with a pink icon next to it in blue pill mode even.

UPDATE:
Now it did install, but there is no gui !
How can I enable the GUI ?

What did you try starting? At the command line? "qalculate-gtk"?

Otherwise just use the menu entry Qwerty12 kindly provided (in the package, i.e. it should be in your menu)

Thanks !
Now I did "apt-get install qalculate-gtk" and it did install a menu entry and the GUI
works !

This problem appears to more apps. can this simply be fixed by adding scroll bars in the settings menu ?

looks nice!

but I'm weird... how to use unit conversion in expressions? I can convert 100 Celsius to Farenheit using button, but how can I mix different temperature units in one expression? can I write something like that?

farenheit2celsius(100) + 5?

another question - is there any manual for user's functions? how can I create my personal functions?

and one suggestion - I found how switch different numbers format for expression and result, but it is not so useful - it would be more useful select them in Keypad

or even better let user collect needed control elements on Keypad...

From the look of the front page here: http://qalculate.sourceforge.net/
yes you should be able to mix them. There should be some docs on that site too.

Patches welcome for any changes you fancy.

Perhaps something like: 100celsius + 10fahrenheit

Has anybody found a way to add new currencies? I'm travelling to Argentina soon and would like the Argentine Peso.

it hangs often especially after series of errors...

not too useful combine different units cause extra parentheses needed

sqrt((12 in)^2 + (45 cm)^2) will give proper result but
sqrt(12 in^2 + 45 cm^2) will be calculated as sqrt(12 * (in^2) + 45 * (cm^2))
